DT FINDS A MONEY PIT!
Oh...the curse of being born a dreamer!
For some odd reason ( which I cannot logically explain) I have always dreamed of having a country home. Not a "farm" mind you...although I would like a sweet cow named Ethel, but no chickens...they kinda creep me out! Although I do LOVE a well designed coop though. It's complicated.
Very close to our bungalow in University Park in the heart of downtown Raleigh lies a little crossroads of a town called Dorches. Preservation NC (a fine organization) has a gem of a house to be sold for only 10k! It must be moved...gotta buy a small "gentleman's" farm... move it to a new foundation...then hemorrhage money until it could be made liveable. Sound like a fun project? The "other half" would likely take to his bed until it was all over...with good reason!
Take a look at the details of this Federal structure ca.1810. All photos from presnc.org
I can hear it calling me to come to it's rescue! Oh my...I am far too old for this...but that has never stopped me before!
As always...xx.dt

ReplyDeleteI am about over the Raleigh thing. A country house and an apt. in Manhattan. That's what I am thinking. xx.dt
DeleteNOPE...
DeleteSounds like a fabulous idea...That house is just loaded with beautiful architectural detail...I can only imagine what a showplace you could make it.
